Statistical physics approach to earthquake occurrence and forecasting

L de Arcangelis, C Godano, JR Grasso, E Lippiello - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
There is striking evidence that the dynamics of the Earth crust is controlled by a wide variety
of mutually dependent mechanisms acting at different spatial and temporal scales. The …

Minimum magnitude of completeness in earthquake catalogs: Examples from Alaska, the western United States, and Japan

S Wiemer, M Wyss - Bulletin of the Seismological Society …, 2000 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
We mapped the minimum magnitude of complete reporting, M c, for Alaska, the western
